It's also a silly argument because right there in the definition is the word 'cause' which is exactly the thing for which these folks are partisans. The definition isn't strictly about adherence to a party. I know, I know, a real 'by your logic' moment, but yeah. There it is, in the screenshot.

There’s this great fish market in Astoria, Oregon, and they had probably 10-15 different types of smoked fish and I realized if I got all I wanted, I’d probably walk out flat broke.

Two things about this, in no particular order, and acknowledging up front that this is grotesque, gaudy, and awful:
- We probably could have given this asshole an HGTV show and avoided this mess altogether.
- You have room for an elongated toilet and didn't install an elongated toilet? Fuck off.

After last year's severe downpour on Halloween, I feel like we've earned a dry day this year. I keep looking at the weather every day and trying to will that sunny day to move one day later. So far, it hasn't worked.
